OBJECTIVE: The series of papers in this issue was developed to examine the use of health technology assessment in policies toward prevention-specifically toward mass screening-in European countries. The papers actually examined three screening strategies: mammography screening for breast cancer, prostate-specific antigen screening for prostate cancer, and routine ultrasound in normal pregnancy. METHODS: Papers were sought from the member states of the European Union, plus Switzerland. Ultimately, nine acceptable papers were received, and were reviewed, revised, and edited. RESULTS: Screening is an accepted strategy in many countries for reducing the burden of disease through early detection and intervention. In part, this is because of successful screening programs that have been evaluated and implemented in many countries. At the same time, unevaluated and even useless and harmful screening programs-unjustified medically or economically-are widespread. Health technology assessment could help ...

The objectives of this paper are to describe the status and development of health technology regulation with regard to coverage decisions and utilization, and to analyze the current situation of health technology assessment (HTA) in Germany. The relevant literature for controlling health technologies was identified by searching the literature and databases and through personal contacts. The literature was analyzed with regard to the different sectors in the healthcare system. For the analysis of the current state of HTA in Germany, a national survey was carried out. In addition, the names of topics under assessment were collected. The results show that coverage decisions in the ambulatory sector appear to be much more regulated than those in the inpatient sector. The same is true for diffusion and usage of technologies. The strict separation of the hospital and the ambulatory care sector in Germany constitutes a barrier to regulation and to making HTA an effective instrument in Germany. Until ...

Health care policy-makers throughout Europe seek to improve the health status of their citizens through the delivery of health services. Health policy thus aims at improving the performance and health outcomes within sustainable health systems.. Health technology assessment (HTA) contributes to the formulation of such health policy by providing evidence-based information to those who make policies and decide on the coverage and usage of health technologies. However, establishing links between HTA and policy-making poses challenges to both producers and users of HTA - and there is a potential to improve the responsiveness of HTA to the needs of policy-makers to achieve the desired goal for HTA of a larger policy input role.. This book gives an overview of the relationship between HTA and health policy in Europe by:. ...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to review and compare current health technology assessment (HTA) activities for medical devices across non-European Union HTA agencies. METHODS: HTA activities for medical devices were evaluated from three perspectives: organizational structure, processes, and methods. Agencies were primarily selected upon membership of existing HTA networks. The data collection was performed in two stages: stage 1-agency Web-site assessment using a standardized questionnaire, followed by review and validation of the collected data by a representative of the agency; and stage 2-semi-structured telephone interviews with key informants of a sub-sample of agencies. RESULTS: In total, thirty-six HTA agencies across twenty non-EU countries assessing medical devices were included. Twenty-seven of thirty-six (75 percent) agencies were judged at stage 1 to have adopted HTA-specific approaches for medical devices (MD-specific agencies) that were largely organizational or procedural. ...

While the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) community has acknowledged the importance of public and consumer involvement in the HTA process, very few studies have examined how technology-related findings may be reported by the media to the broader public. This paper compares the content of press articles with the content of three Canadian HTA reports that respectively assess electroconvulsive therapy, first-trimester prenatal screening for Down syndrome, and prostate-specific antigen screening for prostate cancer. We qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed 186 press articles addressing the same technologies. Our results show that beyond stylistic emphasis, there is an important overlap between media coverage of these technologies and the content of HTA reports. Findings also highlight shared interests on which both researchers and journalists could build to enhance the communication of health information to the public ...

Introduction: As the pace of health technology innovations increases greater pressure is placed on HTA agencies to review and make recommendations promptly. One response to this pressure is the use of Rapid Reviews (RRs). As part of the HTA system RRs can support decision making in an environment with increasing competing demands by synthesising evidence to support informed decisions in a timely manner, without sacrificing scientific rigor. Since 2009 all new drugs in Ireland are first subject to a RR. After which a full HTA may or may not be required. The objective of this study is to examine what factors determine the outcome of a rapid review, i.e. if a full HTA is recommended or not. Methods: Data on drug evaluations from 2009 to 2016 were extracted from the NCPE websites. A logit regression was employed to determine the factors influencing the outcome of the rapid review, i.e. the recommendation for a full HTA. Results: All drugs for which a RR only was required were recommended for ...

It must be emphasised that the output from NICE and HTBS will be advice on clinical- and cost-effectiveness and not on need, budgetary priority or affordability. Assessments will certainly inform the process of rational and equitable distribution of resources, but they are not about what a health care provider should afford or can afford, nor are they about assessing population needs or prioritising these against available resources. However, regardless of questions of priority and affordability, any reasonable person would surely not condone the provision of treatments that were either only equivocally beneficial or where the benefit per £ (sterling), or per hour of clinical time taken from some other activity, was less than an alternative. Advising on the degree of real benefit and value for money should, therefore, be seen as an aid to the evidence-based, equitable distribution of limited resources but should not be seen as stumbling into rationing (Smith, 2000).. Health technology ...

Patients and patient groups need to have good knowledge about their own disease, its management and treatment and how these work for them. This is in a broad group of patients if they are actively participating in decision making committees as representatives. They may also need some education and training about specific issues relevant to their role, the expectations of them, and HTA processes relevant to their engagement.. Preparation may include education on the role they are to play and what they can expect, the role of the event or committee they are engaging in, background information on the HTA organisation, processes and where to find the information, support and knowledge they need to actively participate.. Patient representatives on advisory committees are required to have background knowledge in evidence based medicine and consumer matters, to be conversant with relevant technical matters for the committee, be able to effectively represent the views of those who they represent (unless ...

This study provides outcome data on the impact of the Health Technology Board for Scotlands grading model on referrals to ophthalmology from a primary care based diabetic retinopathy screening programme using digital photography that meets the recommended resolution agreed by both the Health Technology Board for Scotland and the National Screening Committee for England.9,12. The Health Technology Board for Scotlands grading model appears to be effective in triaging patients needing review by the third level grader. Only 302 (5.4%) patients images needed review by the third level grader and, of those, 190 (3.4%) were finally referred to ophthalmology services. Only 10% of the images passed to the level 3 grader were downgraded for review in 12 months. Most errors were caused by the misclassification of referable maculopathy such as misjudging the position of blot haemorrhages or exudates, incorrectly classifying drusen as exudates or mistaking dot haemorrhages for blots haemorrhages..

In 1972, the Office of Technology Assessment was set up to give the United States Congress information that would enable decision-making about technology that reflected a wide range of concerns, adopted a long-term horizon and had a sound factual basis. Nor was Australia immune from these ideas. In the late 1970s there was a Committee of Inquiry into Technological Change in Australia, known as the Myers Committee. It was tasked with a mission to examine, report and make recommendations on the process of technological change in Australia, in particular around issues such the possibility that some technologies might lead to massive unemployment. One result of this committee was the establishment of the Technological Change Committee of the Australian Science and Technology Council, with a mission to review on a continuing basis the processes and trends in technological change in Australia and elsewhere; and to evaluate and report on the direct and indirect effects of technological change at the ...

The inspiration for the present assessment of the nutritional care of medical patients is puzzlement about the divide that exists between the theoretical knowledge about the importance of the diet for ill persons, and the common failure to incorporate nutritional aspects in the treatment and care of the patients. The purpose is to clarify existing problems in the nutritional care of Danish medical inpatients, to elucidate how the nutritional care for these inpatients can be improved, and to analyse the costs of this improvement. Qualitative and quantitative methods are deployed to outline how nutritional care of medical inpatients is performed at three Danish hospitals. The practices observed are compared with official recommendations for nutritional care of inpatients. Factors extraneous and counterproductive to optimal nutritional care are identified from the perspectives of patients and professional staff. A review of the literature illustrates the potential for optimal nutritional care. A health

Background. Given its high impact on the healthcare service, the management of breast cancer is a relevant issue for all European Union (EU) countries. The three tests assessed in this core health technology assessment (HTA)- uPA/PAI-1 (FEMTELLE®, American Diagnostica) based on immunostaining techniques and MammaPrint® (Agendia) and Oncotype DX® (Genomic Health), based on gene expression profiling-measure multiple markers within the tumour that may indicate how the tumour is likely to develop. The potential clinical utility of the tests lies in their ability to discriminate between patients who will benefit to a greater or lesser extent from a therapeutic intervention. The assessment of technologies of this type could be of interest to all the EU member states.. The uPA/PAI-1, MammaPrint and Oncotype DX tests are intended to predict the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence in women and to support the tailoring of treatment to the individual patient, which may reduce the number of women ...
